Catholic institution at the capital The
Jesuit college at Georgetown Is one Of the
oldest colleges in the United States. and its
new building is architecturally one of the
finest. This college was founded in the first
year Of Washington's presidency, and two
years from now it will be 100 years old. Its
college buildings are situated on brow Of a
hill overlooking the Potomac, and the
grounds cover more than 100 acres. It has
an Old library, which makes one think OF the
libraries Of Oxford and Cambridge. and the
old brick building, which was erected nearly
100 years ago out of imported bricks, still
stand. behind the new stone structure. 1t is
in this building that the library is situated,
and 10 one can fail TO be impressed
BY walking through the alcoves which
contain its $1,000 volumes. Among these are
some OF the rares. manuscripts In the coun-
try, and there are three which date back
beyond A. d. 400. One hundred Of the vol
un,es were printed between l460 and 1890,
and the shelves contain many rare and Gu
rious works. Just below this university is

When the woman suffrage convention
met in Washington in the winter of 1879.
they called on President Hayes and pre-
Dented resolutions adopted at the convcn-
ton, following up with arguments in their
favor. The president listened attentively
until they had finished, and then asked
them II they would not like to see Mrs
Hayes. They assented, and the president
asked Mrs. Hayes to show them the
White House, which she did, taking the
ladies TO nursery, kitchen, and through
all the chambers, pointing out the methods
of housekeeping. and asking their opinions
upon domestic subjects The ladies ex-
pressed qualification at Mrs. Hayes kind

had been trified with. Information about
housekeeping was not what they were
